Darkseed

Not wanting to take the traditional methods of generic death metal that everyone's heard a million times since Napalm Death's "Scum, " Germany's Darkseed take a more unconventional song writing method that aims more towards the gothic experimental route. Showing off this talent on their first two demo's "Sharing The Grave" (1992) and "Darksome Thoughts" (1993), Serenades Records picked Darkseed up and released their first full-length "Midnight Solemnly Dance" in 1996. Nuclear Blast immediately caught up with the band and quickly followed through with their second release Spellcraft a year later. Unfortunately with underground success came the price of several line up changes that resulted in Darkseed's year long hiatus. With things finally settling in with Stefan Hertrich (vocals), Willy Wurm (drums), Rico Calvagno (bass), Thomas Herrmann (guitar) and Tom Gilcher (guitar), their third album "Give Me Light" came out in 1999. Diving Into Darkness followed a year later.~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi

It's strange. Some of the songs on the "Unheralded Past" bonus CD in Ultimate Darkness sound very, very different when they play on Pandora, as opposed to listening to the actual CD. For instance, "Walk In Me" sounds like a completely different song on here. I just think it's odd...

hertrich has another project called "shiva in exile". very different from darkseed, based on listening to a few of the above song clips. very good music; gothic arab/indian music. me like much. odysseia is a good song.
